Information Collection Request

    Title: The National Recreational Boating Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.
    Summary: The mission of the U.S. Coast Guard's National 
Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program is to minimize the loss of 
life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact 
associated with the use of recreational boats. The National 
Recreational Boating Survey information collection enables the Coast 
Guard to better identify safety priorities, coordinate and focus 
research efforts, and encourage consistency in the information that is 
collected as well as methods of analysis that are employed. Working 
with our State partners, collecting this type of information from 
boaters across the nation is essential in our efforts to implement 
effective accident prevention strategies.
    Need: The National Recreational Boating Survey is needed as a means 
for the Coast Guard to: (1) Collect reliable and consistent data for 
use in developing valid safety performance measures, (2) collect 
information in regard to the changing demographics of boaters, the 
numbers of boats and type of boating activity essential for national 
RBS program direction and policy, and (3) better define and measure the 
effectiveness of RBS program activities in reducing the number of 
boating accidents.
    Respondents: Recreational boaters.
    Frequency: Every two to three years.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains the same, 11,458 
hours a year.

    Dated: July 1, 2005.
Nathaniel S. Heiner,
Acting, Assistant Commandant for Command, Control, Communications, 
Computers and Information Technology.
